Alright alright, I will bite, Luke. (Also -- I will bite Luke.) I'll post your video begging to be posted this morning, but only because there is other Luke Evans News at hand. The second season of The Alienist, subtitled Angel of Darkness, is hitting blu-ray in a couple of weeks! Coincidentally I got a review copy last night and can't wait to put on my tightest man-vest and shine my shoes and get myself a pince-nez and get to diggin' through the special features. I did watch the show as it aired and posted such sporadically -- I actually love The Alienist, way more than I expected to (and I think Luke is very good on it as well!), and am always happy to hear from other fans if you're out there. Please comment! But first I'll share the press release and special features stuff for the blu-ray after the jump...
“Sometimes all you want is a really compelling murder mystery with high production value and compelling characters, and in that way The Alienist: Angel of Darkness delivers.” – Collider

It is June 1897. A year has passed since Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, tracked down the brutal serial killer John Beecham with the help of a team of trusted companions and a revolutionary application of the principles of his discipline. Kreizler and his friends--high-living crime reporter John Schuyler Moore; indomitable, derringer-toting Sara Howard; the brilliant (and bickering) detective brothers Marcus and Lucius Isaacson; powerful and compassionate Cyrus Montrose; and Stevie Taggert, the boy Kreizler saved from a life of street crime--have returned to their former pursuits and tried to forget the horror of the Beecham case. But when the distraught wife of a Spanish diplomat begs Sara's aid, the team reunites to help find her kidnapped infant daughter. It is a case fraught with danger since Spain and the United States are on the verge of war.

I liked The Alienist very much. The acting and story were good. And I am always a sucker for good production design. But what I liked most is how they portrayed the camaraderie of the leads. Mature friendships among adults are seldom seen in movies or TV. So you believed these three characters were friends, despite all the bumps and bruises.
